Gu Fengxun stood on the high platform outside the Hanguang Palace, looking up at the sky, it was almost dusk at this time, the sun was slanting westward, and only the light remained, dyeing the blue tiles golden.

Ling Han carried a big fur cloak, shook it open and draped it on his body, and then, standing side by side with him, looked at the slanting sun together.

"Is he panicking?"

Now that Ling Han mentions Zhao Hao again, he has long lost his original sour taste. The sun in the sky, oh, there will always be a time when it will become the sun.

Su Lian's assassination really surprised both him and Gu Fengxun, that is, Gu Fengxun himself didn't expect that he, who had been "dead" for so long, could still make Zhao Hao lose his correct judgment and do stupid things. No matter how capable Su Lian is, he is only a Dali Temple, even if he becomes a Dali Temple, it will have almost no impact on Zhao Hao, assassinating Su Lian will not make Xi Chu weaker, nor will it make Qin Guoqiang a point. This time, Zhao Hao's gains outweigh the losses, and he must be furious, but I hope that Xia Min will not be affected.

Gu Fengxun was stunned for a long time before answering Ling Han's question.

"He wasn't panicking, he was afraid, probably because he was so dominated by me that he almost lost himself, he killed me to survive, because he was afraid that if he continued, he would become my puppet......"

After hesitating for a moment, he turned his eyes to look at Ling Han, his gaze calm and quiet.

"What about you? Scared? ”

He knew that Ling Han and Zhao Hao were different, when they met, Ling Han had already experienced a lot of hardships and already had a firm self and strong self-confidence, and when Zhao Hao met him, he was still a teenager, his personality was not stereotyped, he was too deeply influenced by him, and in the end, his heart was distorted.

Ling Han would not be afraid, he would only connive, this was what made Gu Fengxun feel the most comfortable, but he still wanted to get confirmation from Ling Han's mouth.

Sometimes, when two people get along, it is not enough to just rely on tacit understanding, and the words are not clear, what if they understand it wrong?

"I'm afraid." Ling Han stared at him deeply, stretched out his hand, and gently brushed the broken hair scattered around his ears, "I'm afraid that the person who accompanied me to the end was not you." ”

He is not afraid of how powerful Gu Fengxun is, as a king, having a capable minister like Qin Sikong is the greatest luck of a king, he is not afraid of being eaten by his courtiers, because he will work hard to make himself a Ming Jun who can override the capable ministers. As a man, it is a blessing to be able to meet a partner who walks side by side with him, which has been cultivated for several lifetimes, which has nothing to do with whether Gu Fengxun is a man or a woman, a human or a ghost, but a fateful encounter and acquaintance.

This answer made Gu Fengxun even more melancholy, he could calculate anyone in this world, but he couldn't calculate God, being reborn in such a young body after death was not something he could control, in order to survive, he teamed up with the medicine man to kill the only Tu Lang who knew how to change his heart, and now, how long can he last when he only relies on medicine to maintain the remnant body?

He wanted to give Ling Han a long time to calm his mind, but he couldn't after all, that kind of lie would only make Ling Han even more uneasy and afraid.

Finally, there was silence.

After that, Ling Han summoned Zheng Hou more frequently, and others only said that the emperor was discussing with Zheng Hou about dealing with the Chu State, and only Zheng Hou was worried, because Ling Han actually asked him if it was possible for the current Western Chu troops to fight with both the Chu State and the Qin State at the same time.

The Emperor of Western Chu actually wanted to start a war against the Qin State!

Zheng Hou is a military general, he doesn't think about whether the treasury of Western Chu has so much money to support a two-sided battle, he only considers whether the strength of Western Chu has the strength to fight on both sides, during this time, he and Ling Han privately conducted various deductions on the possibility of fighting on two sides, and the results were not very optimistic.

Zheng Hou's suggestion to Ling Han was to go all out against the Chu State and temporarily reconcile with the Qin State, at the moment the war between the Qin State and the Wu State was stalemate, I believe that the Qin State did not want to fight on both sides, as long as the Western Chu had the intention of friendship, the Qin State should not refuse.

Ling Han was silent, only recruited Fan Jiujin, and ordered him to go all out to hunt down the Thousand Scales Guard who had infiltrated Xijing, and once he found a trace, he would be killed.

Zheng Hou saw that the emperor's fighting spirit was blazing, and he was worried in his heart, fearing that the emperor would be young and vigorous, and start the war rashly, so he hesitated again and again, but he still went to see Han Cha and talked for a long time.

After sending Zheng Hou away, Han Cha looked at the sky and smiled bitterly, although the emperor is young, but his idea is very right, although he is concerned about his life, it is difficult to influence the emperor's thoughts, since the emperor has the idea of conquering Qin, even if the current situation cannot be easily started, he will definitely not reconcile with Qin, Zheng Hou hopes that he can persuade the emperor, he really thinks highly of him.

But maybe there was someone who could persuade the emperor, he looked in the direction of Hanguang Palace, and thought that he really needed to talk to that Gu Sheren again.

But before Han Cha had time to see Gu Fengxun, the state of Chu suddenly stopped its tentative attack, and the soldiers invaded the territory, although Western Chu had already taken precautions, but the state of Chu seemed to have mastered the deployment of Western Chu's troops, and launched a surprise attack from the weakest point of defense, and in just three days, two levels were connected.

"Soldier Defense Map!"

The battle report was transmitted to Ling Han's desk, and the young emperor's face was extremely pale, if it wasn't for the leakage of the military defense arrangement, it was impossible for the sneak attack of the Chu State to be so accurate.

Song Ge Lao, a good Song Ge Lao, he still fought back to death. Ling Han slammed his fist on the table, and at that time, he gave Song Ge the whole corpse, it was too cheap for him.

"It's not Song Ge Lao."

Gu Fengxun walked over at some point and put a cup of hot tea in Ling Han's hand.

"This was my negligence, all the attention was on Song Ge Lao at that time, and I didn't expect that there would be others eyeing the military defense map."

This is a blind spot in thinking, he first cut off the dark line of Dongzhen Fusi in Western Chu, and later put the old pit of Song Ge into Dali Temple, at that time, it was only that Chu State had no dark son available in Xijing, but he didn't expect that Chu State still got the military defense map.

The question is, how did the state of Chu get the military defense map? Or is there a problem not with the military defense map, but with someone at the border who collaborated with the enemy and leaked the military defense arrangement?

These problems have yet to be verified, Fan Jiujin is already busy on his side, but fortunately, Luo Feng has made considerable progress, and he has interrogated several hidden piles of Qianliangwei in Xichu, so that Fan Jiujin has a sword point, and he has made meritorious contributions for a while, and finally freed his hands to personally investigate the case of military defense leakage.

After losing two passes in a row, he personally led the army to support, and withstood the attack of the Chu army at the third pass, but in the end he lost the opportunity, he could only hold on, unable to attack, and the battle situation fell into a stalemate for a while, and the situation was somewhat similar to the Qin and Wu wars, which could not advance and retreat.

The hearts of the people in Western Chu are fluctuating, even an idiot knows that the third pass can no longer be lost, once the Chu army breaks through the pass, there will be no danger to defend after 800 miles of Pingchuan, and the two lost passes must be taken back as soon as possible to stabilize the overall situation and appease the people's hearts.

Where is the turning point?

This is the problem that Gu Fengxun is thinking about at the moment, what has happened, it is meaningless to investigate, and it is urgent to solve the current dilemma.

Nowadays, many ministers in the DPRK and China have suggested increasing troops to the third pass, but increasing the number of troops means increasing the weight of food and wages, and the burden on Western Chu is extremely heavy, and this is not the key, although the burden is heavy, but if you squeeze it, you can still squeeze it out, and the key is that there are no troops to increase.

There are 300,000 standing troops in Western Chu, of which 50,000 are stationed in the border passes of two Chu, and later Ling Han ascended the throne, in order to prevent changes, 50,000 troops were added, this time Zheng Hou rushed to help, and brought 60,000 people, basically half of the standing army of Western Chu has been fighting in the border passes of two Chu, and the remaining 140,000 people, of which 50,000 horses are stationed on the border of Chu and Qin, 20,000 horses were taken to Yuedi, and 20,000 horses are stationed in Xijing.

The remaining 50,000 horses are scattered in the counties of Western Chu, and even if they want to be summoned, they will not be able to be summoned in a while. If wartime conscription is carried out in the whole country, another 300,000 will be conscripted. But again, time waits for no one.

The courtier's suggestion was to reconcile with Qin and transfer 30,000 soldiers and horses from the Qin-Chu border as soon as possible to support the third pass.

This proposal was suppressed by Ling Han, and he didn't send it, what kind of joke was there, he couldn't wait to declare war on Qin, if it wasn't for the overall situation, maybe he would be willful again, and now he still wants to reconcile with Qin, but there is no door.
